With great thanks to a friend from Instagram, I finally arrived at Senrigawa – a secluded but popular plane-watching site near the Osaka-Itami International Airport. As plane zoomed over us with loud squishing noises, it is no wonder that this hidden treasure attracts much photographers and spectators for an exhilarating experience. Sometimes, the simple things in life are the best.
